About

SCIA Engineer is an integrated, multi-material structural analysis software and design tool for all kinds of structures. Its wide range of functionality makes it the ideal partner for the design of office buildings, industrial plants, bridges or any other project, all within the same easy-to-use environment. Powerful CAD-like modeling, advanced types of calculation, code-compliant multi-material design and customizable reports. Typical situations can be automated with built-in or user-defined parametric templates for various geometries and powerful load generation tools. SCIA Engineer provides the most comprehensive implementation of Eurocodes, including National Annexes, U.S. codes and other international standards. Seamless exchange of models with other project stakeholders, through the powerful bi-directional links with Allplan, Revit and Tekla Structures, Open BIM's IFC or third-party plug-ins.

About

Simcenter OptiStruct is a multiphysics and multidisciplinary simulation and optimization workhorse spanning implicit to explicit analysis. Its “One Model, One Solver” approach improves workflow efficiency, provides the analyses engineers need, and reduces time to results without compromising accuracy. True design innovation comes from assessing, refining, and optimizing the entire system within a single, integrated tool, and OptiStruct makes this possible. Engineers can assess multiple physics, including durability, heat transfer, acoustics, fatigue, and more, using one model to integrate structural and multiphysics analysis, streamline workflows, and accelerate time to market. Its open architecture allows teams to work with preferred tools, implement third-party code, and customize the software while maintaining the same model and solver methodology. OptiStruct sets the standard for optimization across lightweighting, structural, multi-model, nonparametric shape, and multi-material.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Technical report is practical and nicely designed. It can be arranged pretty fast. Deflection output is well presented.

Cons

  • For modelling of complex structures you need at least a year of practice. Output results are often misleading and disproportional. This is often the case for flat slab design in which i need always to use a second program for checking. Seismic design according to EC8 is inexistent.
